Yes, I love the texture of copious, liberal paint.....i might probably get a negative against me for saying ...I think I see she's got her hands down her pants!!
That's a relaxed pose and whatever she's doing she has a nice space to do it in! I like "the Spread" too and how you're using figures as part of your stories. Or maybe I should say that you're using figures so we can create our own stories.
Thank you Donna, ever so vigilant, ever so nice, to hear what the painting poses to the viewer. Yes, very correct to say our, as you, the viewer, are finishing the piece as you would like to see it. Makes it special if you like what it makes you see.
